CareTrust REIT Announces Second Quarter 2025 Operating Results
SAN CLEMENTE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--CareTrust REIT, Inc. (NYSE:CTRE) today reported operating results for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, as well as other recent events. For the quarter, CareTrust REIT reported: Investments of $1.1 billion at an estimated stabilized yield of 8.4%, including the acquisition of Care REIT plc; Upsized the credit facility to include a $500 million, 5-year term loan; 12.1 million shares sold under its ATM Program for gross proceeds of $353.9 million; Investment grade rating by Fitch; 99.7% of contractual rent and interest collected; Net income of $68.5 million and net income per share of $0.35; Net Debt to Annualized Normalized Run Rate EBITDA of 2.0x; Normalized FFO of $83.1 million and normalized FFO per share of $0.43; Normalized FAD of $83.1 million and normalized FAD per share of $0.43; and A quarterly dividend of $0.335 per share, representing a payout ratio of approximately 78% on normalized FAD. Since quarter end, CareTrust REIT reports: Closing of investments totaling approximately $29.4 million at an estimated stabilized yield of 9%; Pay off of the secured notes payable and secured revolving credit facilities assumed in the Care REIT acquisition; Cash on hand of approximately $65 million; and Investment pipeline of approximately $600 million. CareTrust's President and Chief Executive Officer, Dave Sedgwick, commented, 'Over the last 18 months we have invested more than the prior eight years combined, deploying roughly $2.7 billion of capital into growth opportunities. In May, we closed on the strategic acquisition of Care REIT that marked our entry into the UK care home market. Determined to maintain momentum in the wake of that transaction, we invested an additional $220 million in the second quarter and since, bringing our total investments year-to-date to approximately $1.2 billion. These investments have broadened our operator bench and diversified our asset mix, payor base and geographic reach -- all while we maintained low leverage, improved our credit capacity to support future expansion and reloaded our pipeline.' Mr. Sedgwick continued, 'To ensure the flywheel continues to rip, we have invested throughout the organization by selectively adding talent in tax, finance, investments and asset management, integrating a team of London-based professionals, and deepening operator relationships. All of these moves together are not only producing meaningful FFO per share growth but are also setting the table for strong performance for years to come.' Financial Results for Quarter Ended June 30, 2025 Chief Financial Officer, Bill Wagner, reported that, for the second quarter, CareTrust reported net income of $68.5 million, or $0.35 per diluted weighted-average common share, normalized FFO of $83.1 million, or $0.43 per diluted weighted-average common share, and normalized FAD of $83.1 million, or $0.43 per diluted weighted-average common share. Liquidity As of quarter end, CareTrust reported net debt-to-annualized normalized run rate EBITDA of 2.0x, which is below the Company's target leverage range of 4.0x to 5.0x, and a net debt-to-enterprise value of approximately 12.3%. Mr. Wagner stated that, as of today, the Company has $65.0 million in borrowings outstanding on its $1.2 billion revolving credit line, with no scheduled debt maturities prior to 2028. He also disclosed that CareTrust currently has approximately $65 million in cash on hand. During the second quarter of 2025, the Company sold 12.1 million shares under its ATM Program at a weighted average sales price of $29.36 per share for gross proceeds of $353.9 million. As of June 30, 2025, the Company had $380.1 million available for future issuances under the ATM Program. 'We have plenty of available capital under both our ATM Program and revolving credit line which will allow us to fund a replenishing pipeline of accretive investment opportunities,' said Mr. Wagner. Increased Guidance The Company increased guidance for 2025, with Mr. Wagner projecting on a per-diluted weighted-average common share basis net income of approximately $1.43 to $1.45, normalized FFO of approximately $1.77 to $1.79, and normalized FAD of approximately $1.77 to $1.79. He noted that the 2025 guidance is based on a diluted weighted-average common share count of 195.3 million shares, and assumes the following: All investments year-to-date; No new investments; Dispositions made to date; Loan repayments made to date; No new dispositions; No new debt incurrences or new equity issuances; and Estimated 2.5% CPI-based rent escalators under CareTrust's long-term net leases. Dividend Maintained During the quarter, CareTrust declared a quarterly dividend of $0.335 per common share. On an annualized basis, the payout ratio was approximately 78% based on second quarter 2025 normalized FFO, and 78% based on second quarter 2025 normalized FAD.

Expand Non-GAAP Financial Measures EBITDA attributable to CareTrust REIT, Inc. represents net income (loss) attributable to CareTrust REIT, Inc. before interest expense (including amortization of deferred financing costs), income tax expense, amortization of stock-based compensation, and depreciation and amortization. Normalized EBITDA attributable to CareTrust REIT, Inc. represents EBITDA attributable to CareTrust REIT, Inc. as further adjusted to eliminate the impact of certain items that the Company does not consider indicative of core operating performance, such as recovery of previously reversed rent, lease termination revenue, property operating expenses, gains or losses on foreign currency transactions, gains or losses from dispositions of real estate, real estate impairment charges, provision for loan losses, non-routine transaction costs, loss on extinguishment of debt, write-off of deferred financing costs, unrealized gains or losses on other real estate related investments and provision for doubtful accounts and lease restructuring, as applicable. EBITDA attributable to CareTrust REIT, Inc. and Normalized EBITDA attributable to CareTrust REIT, Inc. do not represent cash flows from operations or net income as defined by GAAP and should not be considered an alternative to those measures in evaluating the Company's liquidity or operating performance. EBITDA attributable to CareTrust REIT, Inc. and Normalized EBITDA attributable to CareTrust REIT, Inc. do not purport to be indicative of cash available to fund future cash requirements, including the Company's ability to fund capital expenditures or make payments on its indebtedness. Further, the Company's computation of EBITDA and Normalized EBITDA may not be comparable to EBITDA and Normalized EBITDA reported by other REITs. Funds from Operations ('FFO'), as defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ('Nareit'), and Funds Available for Distribution ('FAD') are important non-GAAP supplemental measures of operating performance for a REIT. Because the historical cost accounting convention used for real estate assets requires straight-line depreciation except on land, such accounting presentation implies that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values have historically risen or fallen with market and other conditions, presentations of operating results for a REIT that uses historical cost accounting for depreciation could be less informative. Thus, Nareit created FFO as a supplemental measure of operating performance for REITs that excludes historical cost depreciation and amortization, among other items, from net income, as defined by GAAP. FFO is defined by Nareit as net income computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains or losses from dispositions of real estate investments, real estate related depreciation and amortization and real estate impairment charges, adjustments for the share of consolidated joint ventures, and adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Noncontrolling interests' pro rata share information is prepared by applying noncontrolling interests' actual ownership percentage for the period and is intended to reflect noncontrolling interests' proportionate economic interest in the financial position and operating results of properties in our portfolio. The Company computes FFO attributable to CareTrust REIT, Inc. in accordance with Nareit's definition. FAD attributable to CareTrust REIT, Inc. is defined as FFO attributable to CareTrust REIT, Inc. excluding noncash income and expenses, such as amortization of stock-based compensation, amortization of deferred financing fees, amortization of above and below market intangibles, amortization of lease incentives, the effects of straight-line rent, adjustments for the share of consolidated joint ventures and non-cash interest income. The Company considers FAD attributable to CareTrust REIT, Inc. to be a useful supplemental measure to evaluate the Company's operating results excluding these income and expense items to help investors, analysts and other interested parties compare the operating performance of the Company between periods or as compared to other companies on a more consistent basis. In addition, the Company reports Normalized FFO attributable to CareTrust REIT, Inc. and Normalized FAD attributable to CareTrust REIT, Inc., which adjust FFO and FAD for certain revenue and expense items that the Company does not believe are indicative of its ongoing operating results, such as write-off of deferred financing costs, provision for loan losses, non-routine transaction costs, provision for doubtful accounts and lease restructuring, loss on extinguishment of debt, extraordinary incentive plan payment, unrealized gains or losses on other real estate related investments, gains or losses on foreign currency transactions, recovery of previously reversed rent, lease termination revenue and property operating expenses. By excluding these items, investors, analysts and our management can compare Normalized FFO and Normalized FAD between periods more consistently. While FFO, Normalized FFO, FAD and Normalized FAD are relevant and widely-used measures of operating performance among REITs, they do not represent cash flows from operations or net income as defined by GAAP and should not be considered an alternative to those measures in evaluating the Company's liquidity or operating performance. FFO, Normalized FFO, FAD and Normalized FAD do not purport to be indicative of cash available to fund future cash requirements. Further, the Company's computation of FFO, Normalized FFO, FAD and Normalized FAD may not be comparable to FFO, Normalized FFO, FAD and Normalized FAD reported by other REITs that do not define FFO in accordance with the current Nareit definition or that interpret the current Nareit definition or define FAD differently than the Company does. The Company also discloses Net Debt to Annualized Normalized Run Rate EBITDA, which compares the Company's Net Debt as of the last day of the quarter to the Annualized Run Rate EBITDA attributable to CareTrust REIT, Inc. for the quarter. Net Debt is defined as the Company's Total Debt as of the last day of the specified quarter adjusted to exclude the Company's cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and escrow deposits on acquisition of real estate as of such date as well as the net proceeds from the expected settlement of shares sold under equity forward contracts through the Company's ATM Program that are outstanding as of such date. Normalized Run Rate EBITDA represents Normalized EBITDA, adjusted to give effect to the investments completed during the three months ended for the respective period as though such investments were completed as of the beginning of the period. Annualized Normalized Run Rate EBITDA is calculated as Normalized Run Rate EBITDA attributable to CareTrust REIT, Inc. for the specified quarter multiplied by four. The Company believes that net income attributable to CareTrust REIT, Inc., as defined by GAAP, is the most appropriate earnings measure. The Company also believes that the use of EBITDA, Normalized EBITDA, FFO, Normalized FFO, FAD and Normalized FAD, combined with the required GAAP presentations, improves the understanding of operating results of REITs among investors and makes comparisons of operating results among such companies more meaningful. The Company considers EBITDA and Normalized EBITDA, in each case attributable to CareTrust REIT, Inc., useful in understanding the Company's operating results independent of its capital structure, indebtedness and other charges that are not indicative of its ongoing results, thereby allowing for a more meaningful comparison of operating performance between periods and against other REITs. The Company considers FFO, Normalized FFO, FAD and Normalized FAD, in each case attributable to CareTrust REIT, Inc., to be useful measures for reviewing comparative operating and financial performance because, by excluding gains or losses from real estate dispositions, impairment charges and real estate related depreciation and amortization, and, for FAD and Normalized FAD, by excluding noncash income and expenses such as amortization of stock-based compensation, amortization of deferred financing fees, and the effects of straight-line rent, FFO, Normalized FFO, FAD and Normalized FAD can help investors compare the Company's operating performance between periods and to other REITs. The Company believes that the disclosure of Net Debt to Annualized Normalized Run Rate EBITDA provides a useful measure to investors to evaluate the credit strength of the Company and its ability to service its debt obligations and to compare the Company's credit strength to prior reporting periods and to other companies without the effect of charges that are not indicative of the Company's ongoing performance or that could obscure the Company's actual credit quality and after considering the effect of investments occurring during the period.

CareTrust REIT Closes Acquisition of Care REIT plc, Enters UK Market
SAN CLEMENTE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 12, 2025-- CareTrust REIT, Inc. (NYSE:CTRE) ('CareTrust' or the 'Company') announced today that it has closed the acquisition of Care REIT plc, a United Kingdom-based healthcare real estate investment trust listed on the London Stock Exchange. The transaction, first announced on March 11, 2025, marks CareTrust's entrance into the UK market and represents a strategic step in the Company's mission to expand and diversify its portfolio of healthcare real estate assets. With the completion of this transaction, CareTrust adds to its portfolio 132 care homes comprising approximately 7,500 beds and two healthcare facilities leased to the UK's National Health Service, located throughout England, Scotland, and Northern Ireland. All properties are subject to long-term, triple-net leases across 14 operators, with a weighted average remaining lease term of approximately 20.2 years and annual inflation-based rent escalators, most with a 2% floor and 4% cap. 'We are thrilled to close on the acquisition of Care REIT, marking our first M&A deal, our first international investment, and the single largest transaction in our history,' said Dave Sedgwick, President and Chief Executive Officer of CareTrust. 'Last year's exponential growth set the table for double digit growth in 2025. This strategic acquisition is transformative for our company, significantly diversifying our portfolio by operator, geography, payor source, and asset class. The acquisition strengthens our growth profile, while adding approximately $68.6 million of annualized rental revenue and a strong EBITDARM coverage ratio of 2.2x.' Mr. Sedgwick continued, 'While we are excited about the Day 1 impact of this acquisition on our near-term outlook, we also see this transaction as an engine for growth, not just a one-off investment. With the UK's favorable demographics, strong need-based care demand, and fragmented provider landscape, we believe there is ample opportunity to scale. At the same time, we structured our UK entrance so as not to detract from investing in our core U.S. markets and operator relationships, which we remain deeply committed to expand simultaneously with the UK. The Care REIT acquisition brings with it an experienced UK-based team who is hungry to expand our footprint in that market with existing and new operators.' 'Our relationships with our new tenants are off to a strong and collaborative start, many of whom we got to know in the process of carefully evaluating our UK market entrance,' added James Callister, CareTrust's Chief Investment Officer. 'We're already finding alignment in our mutual desire to expand thoughtfully and sustainably while taking advantage of current market conditions. Many of these operators are eager to grow their own portfolios and have already engaged with us in exploring additional investment opportunities in the care home space. We believe that by leveraging our competitive advantages—deep underwriting and operating experience, pristine balance sheet, access to and cost of capital, and certainty of closing—we can help our UK operators further their missions to successfully deliver strong outcomes for their patients, residents, and communities, and for our stakeholders alike.' Mr. Callister also reiterated that the Company's replenished US investment pipeline sits at approximately $500 million of near-term, actionable opportunities—not including larger portfolios the Company is reviewing—and that it is actively seeking additional growth opportunities in the US and abroad. 2025 Guidance and Liquidity In conjunction with the closing of the Care REIT acquisition, Bill Wagner, CareTrust's Chief Financial Officer, updated management's 2025 guidance to include the impact of the transaction, projecting net income of approximately $1.42 to $1.45 per common share, normalized FFO of approximately $1.75 to $1.78 per common share, and normalized FAD of approximately $1.75 to $1.78 per common share. He noted that the 2025 guidance is based on diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding of 190.6 million and assumes the following: 'We are excited by the near- and long-term growth potential the Care REIT transaction unlocks, and we believe it positions us to deliver compounding value to stakeholders over time,' said Bill Wagner, Chief Financial Officer. 'After a period of integration, which we anticipate lasting through 2025, we expect to achieve annual run rate synergies of approximately $5 million. Incorporating the realization of these savings, we anticipate the fully-synergized acquisition to be approximately 9.4% accretive to normalized FFO per share and 5.7% accretive to normalized FAD per share, both relative to the guidance in place when the acquisition was announced on March 11, 2025.' Based on the British Pound Sterling to U.S. Dollar exchange rate on May 9, 2025, the terms of the Care REIT acquisition represent a total purchase price of approximately $840.5 million, of which $595.4 million represents cash consideration to acquire Care REIT common shares, together with the assumption of $245.1 million net debt and exclusive of transaction fees. Mr. Wagner noted that the Company intends to pay off the assumed debt and recapitalize the portfolio through a combination of cash on hand, a draw from its revolving credit facility, and a new $500 million unsecured term loan expected to be finalized in the second quarter, subject to ordinary closing conditions. Prior to completion of this refinancing, net debt-to-normalized EBITDA is expected to be below 2.0x.

The Company expressly disclaims any obligation to update or revise any information in this press release, including forward-looking statements, whether to reflect any change in the Company's expectations, any change in events, conditions or circumstances, or otherwise. As used in this press release, unless the context requires otherwise, references to 'CTRE,' 'CareTrust,' 'CareTrust REIT' or the 'Company' refer to CareTrust REIT, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries. GAAP refers to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. Non-GAAP Financial Measures Funds from Operations ('FFO'), as defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ('Nareit'), and Funds Available for Distribution ('FAD') are important non-GAAP supplemental measures of operating performance for a REIT. Because the historical cost accounting convention used for real estate assets requires straight-line depreciation except on land, such accounting presentation implies that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values have historically risen or fallen with market and other conditions, presentations of operating results for a REIT that uses historical cost accounting for depreciation could be less informative. Thus, Nareit created FFO as a supplemental measure of operating performance for REITs that excludes historical cost depreciation and amortization, among other items, from net income, as defined by GAAP. FFO is defined by Nareit as net income computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains or losses from dispositions of real estate investments, real estate related depreciation and amortization and real estate impairment charges, adjustments for the share of consolidated joint ventures, and adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Noncontrolling interests' pro rata share information is prepared by applying noncontrolling interests' actual ownership percentage for the period and is intended to reflect noncontrolling interests' proportionate economic interest in the financial position and operating results of properties in our portfolio. The Company computes FFO attributable to CareTrust REIT, Inc. in accordance with Nareit's definition. FAD attributable to CareTrust REIT, Inc. is defined as FFO attributable to CareTrust REIT, Inc. excluding noncash income and expenses, such as amortization of stock-based compensation, amortization of deferred financing fees, amortization of above and below market intangibles, amortization of lease incentives, the effects of straight-line rent, adjustments for the share of consolidated joint ventures and non-cash interest income. The Company considers FAD attributable to CareTrust REIT, Inc. to be a useful supplemental measure to evaluate the Company's operating results excluding these income and expense items to help investors, analysts and other interested parties compare the operating performance of the Company between periods or as compared to other companies on a more consistent basis. In addition, the Company reports Normalized FFO attributable to CareTrust REIT, Inc. and Normalized FAD attributable to CareTrust REIT, Inc., which adjust FFO and FAD for certain revenue and expense items that the Company does not believe are indicative of its ongoing operating results, such as write-off of deferred financing costs, provision for loan losses, non-routine transaction costs, provision for doubtful accounts and lease restructuring, loss on extinguishment of debt, extraordinary incentive plan payment, unrealized loss on other real estate related investments, recovery of previously reversed rent, lease termination revenue and property operating expenses. By excluding these items, investors, analysts and our management can compare Normalized FFO and Normalized FAD between periods more consistently. While FFO, Normalized FFO, FAD and Normalized FAD are relevant and widely-used measures of operating performance among REITs, they do not represent cash flows from operations or net income as defined by GAAP and should not be considered an alternative to those measures in evaluating the Company's liquidity or operating performance. FFO, Normalized FFO, FAD and Normalized FAD do not purport to be indicative of cash available to fund future cash requirements. Further, the Company's computation of FFO, Normalized FFO, FAD and Normalized FAD may not be comparable to FFO, Normalized FFO, FAD and Normalized FAD reported by other REITs that do not define FFO in accordance with the current Nareit definition or that interpret the current Nareit definition or define FAD differently than the Company does.

CareTrust REIT Closes Acquisition of Care REIT plc, Enters UK Market
SAN CLEMENTE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--CareTrust REIT, Inc. (NYSE:CTRE) ('CareTrust' or the 'Company') announced today that it has closed the acquisition of Care REIT plc, a United Kingdom-based healthcare real estate investment trust listed on the London Stock Exchange. The transaction, first announced on March 11, 2025, marks CareTrust's entrance into the UK market and represents a strategic step in the Company's mission to expand and diversify its portfolio of healthcare real estate assets. With the completion of this transaction, CareTrust adds to its portfolio 132 care homes comprising approximately 7,500 beds and two healthcare facilities leased to the UK's National Health Service, located throughout England, Scotland, and Northern Ireland. All properties are subject to long-term, triple-net leases across 14 operators, with a weighted average remaining lease term of approximately 20.2 years and annual inflation-based rent escalators, most with a 2% floor and 4% cap. 'We are thrilled to close on the acquisition of Care REIT, marking our first M&A deal, our first international investment, and the single largest transaction in our history,' said Dave Sedgwick, President and Chief Executive Officer of CareTrust. 'Last year's exponential growth set the table for double digit growth in 2025. This strategic acquisition is transformative for our company, significantly diversifying our portfolio by operator, geography, payor source, and asset class. The acquisition strengthens our growth profile, while adding approximately $68.6 million of annualized rental revenue and a strong EBITDARM coverage ratio of 2.2x.' Mr. Sedgwick continued, 'While we are excited about the Day 1 impact of this acquisition on our near-term outlook, we also see this transaction as an engine for growth, not just a one-off investment. With the UK's favorable demographics, strong need-based care demand, and fragmented provider landscape, we believe there is ample opportunity to scale. At the same time, we structured our UK entrance so as not to detract from investing in our core U.S. markets and operator relationships, which we remain deeply committed to expand simultaneously with the UK. The Care REIT acquisition brings with it an experienced UK-based team who is hungry to expand our footprint in that market with existing and new operators.' 'Our relationships with our new tenants are off to a strong and collaborative start, many of whom we got to know in the process of carefully evaluating our UK market entrance,' added James Callister, CareTrust's Chief Investment Officer. 'We're already finding alignment in our mutual desire to expand thoughtfully and sustainably while taking advantage of current market conditions. Many of these operators are eager to grow their own portfolios and have already engaged with us in exploring additional investment opportunities in the care home space. We believe that by leveraging our competitive advantages—deep underwriting and operating experience, pristine balance sheet, access to and cost of capital, and certainty of closing—we can help our UK operators further their missions to successfully deliver strong outcomes for their patients, residents, and communities, and for our stakeholders alike.' Mr. Callister also reiterated that the Company's replenished US investment pipeline sits at approximately $500 million of near-term, actionable opportunities—not including larger portfolios the Company is reviewing—and that it is actively seeking additional growth opportunities in the US and abroad. 2025 Guidance and Liquidity In conjunction with the closing of the Care REIT acquisition, Bill Wagner, CareTrust's Chief Financial Officer, updated management's 2025 guidance to include the impact of the transaction, projecting net income of approximately $1.42 to $1.45 per common share, normalized FFO of approximately $1.75 to $1.78 per common share, and normalized FAD of approximately $1.75 to $1.78 per common share. He noted that the 2025 guidance is based on diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding of 190.6 million and assumes the following: All investments and dispositions made to date; No new debt incurrences or new equity issuances; and Estimated 2.5% rent escalators under the Company's inflation-based triple net leases. 'We are excited by the near- and long-term growth potential the Care REIT transaction unlocks, and we believe it positions us to deliver compounding value to stakeholders over time,' said Bill Wagner, Chief Financial Officer. 'After a period of integration, which we anticipate lasting through 2025, we expect to achieve annual run rate synergies of approximately $5 million. Incorporating the realization of these savings, we anticipate the fully-synergized acquisition to be approximately 9.4% accretive to normalized FFO per share and 5.7% accretive to normalized FAD per share, both relative to the guidance in place when the acquisition was announced on March 11, 2025.' Based on the British Pound Sterling to U.S. Dollar exchange rate on May 9, 2025, the terms of the Care REIT acquisition represent a total purchase price of approximately $840.5 million, of which $595.4 million represents cash consideration to acquire Care REIT common shares, together with the assumption of $245.1 million net debt and exclusive of transaction fees. Mr. Wagner noted that the Company intends to pay off the assumed debt and recapitalize the portfolio through a combination of cash on hand, a draw from its revolving credit facility, and a new $500 million unsecured term loan expected to be finalized in the second quarter, subject to ordinary closing conditions. Prior to completion of this refinancing, net debt-to-normalized EBITDA is expected to be below 2.0x.
